Volunteers call at historic hall

VOLUNTEERS are being sought to help carry out conservation work in a Peak District village.

The National Trust is to hold a volunteer information day at Eyam Hall, between noon and 4pm next Saturday, April 20.

The organisation took over the hall in February and wants people to help keep it open for the public.

Jenny Aldridge, Eyam Hall’s visitor operations manager, said: “From Eyam Hall and Centre we hope to connect visitors with the plague story and encourage them to explore the village and the surrounding countryside.

“A great team of volunteers is key to us being able to achieve this.”
